Bunk carpet

Just done my trailer bunk boards last year already worn thru the carpet, must have used a light carpet, what oz carpet have you used that last longer
Thanks

I use 20oz but BPS sells 16oz specifically for bunks so I'm guessing they've had success with it. If you just have a worn spot on your bunk it might be your board is warped and the hull is rubbing hard against that one spot.

I use the outdoor carpet at home depot, I put an extra layer under the wrap. Make sure to get treated wood vs untreated wood lol.

I went away from carpeted bunks a few years ago opting for the bunk slicks. In my case I actually made my slicks from 1/2" Starboard. I quit carpet for two reasons:

1. They hold water and I found the wood underneath rotting out every 2-3 years even though I used treated lumber. The high humidity+temp allowed fungus to flourish and destroy the bunks.
2. With all the new restrictions due to Zebra mussels I thought it a bit odd that I could dry my boat, empty my live wells and all bilge water but when I left the lake I still had wet carpet probably containing Zebra mussel larvae. Depending on weather the bunks could take several days to dry and I usually fish at least twice a week so I technically shouldn't change lakes with the bunks still wet.

My new bunks are made from pressure treated lumber which I allowed to thoroughly dry before painting and applying my bunk slicks. These bunks dry very quickly so I have no issues changing lakes and this is year 3 with no signs of decay or worn carpet. My hull does not seem to be affected by the slicks and launching/retrieving is much easier.
